Is there any callback available when a/all notifications is/are removed from notification tray?

Dear Apple Team, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a playful and innovative idea that could enhance the iPhone experience—particularly when viewing content in full-screen mode through apps like Apple TV or YouTube. Feature Concept: Hands-Free Dismissal of Notifications When the iPhone is in landscape mode, incoming notifications can interrupt the viewing experience. While Focus Mode and swipe gestures help, I thought of a more intuitive and hands-free interaction: using a light puff of air directed toward the screen to dismiss a notification. This interaction could use the microphone or other onboard sensors to detect a brief burst of air, providing a fun and natural way to maintain immersion without touching the device. If this isn’t feasible with current hardware, here are a few alternative concepts that align with the same goal: Blink to Dismiss: Using Face ID sensors to detect a quick blink as a hands-free gesture. Shake to Dismiss: A gentle shake gesture when holding the iPhone in one hand. Gaze-Based Dismissal: Notifications automatically disappear after a brief moment of eye contact. These ideas could offer both accessibility benefits and a touch of delight—making the iPhone feel even more magical and responsive. Thank you for your time and for considering this suggestion! Warm regards, Badhan Baidya

After upgrading my latest M4 MacBook Pro to macOS 15.2, and even after connecting my iPhone with iPhone Mirroring, there is no 'Allow notification from iPhone' switch option in the macOS notification settings menu, which prevents me from displaying push notifications from my iPhone on macOS.

Dear Apple Engineer, We have problem in the banking application after update iOS to 18, 18.1 or 18.1.1. No notifications appear on the locked screen, even in the notification center. On lower version push notifications apparently correctly. What have we checked so far is: certificates profiles app with push notifications extension and without it usage of setBadgeCount(_:withCompletionHandler:) instead of applicationIconBadgeNumber Our sample payload with encrypted data: { "aps":{ "alert":"Message from Bank", "badge":0, "sound":"default", "mutable-content":1, "category":"" }, "Type":"", "MessageId":"", "Id":"8ebf0c13-83cf-4029-ac13-91d026c3770a", "Media-url":"", "alternativeTitle":"New message", "priority":5, "EncryptedData":"eyJ0eXAiOiJibTplbmMtdjEiLCJhbGciOiJibTppb3MtZWNkaCIsImVuYyI6ImJtOkExMjhHQ00tSVYxNiIsImVuY19raWQiOiI5OUIyN0E4NC1CQzRFLTRGMzQtQjBGNC0yMTcyMEYxQTFEN0EifQ...BDdxycY-ZWPC7BgI_07efVSgjKyGyGVKlcNtZSslWJePrwJkJyIxFBr07XtayB0I2jv6Vc8AdUpdvMJ-daVzkPYMZ7pQA_X0Pg8RPRS2GnPkhyhK3XNkLRMsjG6CkSafYaqSeLMEpdF2Q-QkajvO3ojnRl1C-Bp9FpNbeaCwJXwqjEMKKhggRsKH8zdk7XcYhZX5_hARbBkIFLrCX1Xzyypp_PfZ23v9Pbd8aHmAf7FQdYN6xbfyoL5XEaDrCjGi-up2n1nlcTeEfkXHBunitUzQulmrjo86GJS0ldhF0mEMZ3_t6ObbjeKijYExMeYHxeCe89Yg10TvZI6kP4xizpJijG9cz75X3VI3I4SgeR8BuZRcb5eTQKWWzGW7u6LD1QtV3PWFCtv942CSz62kPPo-dD0248Fqm5HwxZejQSrZKjYQQ87dkzB0q7p2Q_M0z2Y-bRfNRXJl8VaF5X6-2KwLq47zwrQYUIcEHdag3J05X0SzBiImAdbh2zQz074QqEEpoU1F6C89LHKFxAw", "IsSigned":false } What do you need to analyze the problem?

Does iOS provide a callback when a notification is manually removed from the notification tray ?

Hi Team, We’re following up on our request for the Critical Alert entitlement for our app, which we plan to use to notify users about critical states of their devices. It’s been almost 4 weeks since we submitted the request, and we wanted to check on the typical review timeline so we can plan our upcoming work accordingly. If there’s anything we can provide or clarify to help complete the review or make the process easier, we’d be happy to assist. or the right forum to reach out to.

We have just been granted access to the com.apple.developer.usernotifications.filtering entitlement, and are following the documented steps for handled E2EE VOIP notifications listed here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/callkit/sending-end-to-end-encrypted-voip-calls 1 - A user initiates a VoIP call on their app. Their app then sends an encrypted VoIP call request to your server. We do exactly this, Alice calls Bob from her app, sending a notification to our servers. 2 - Your server sends the encrypted data to the receiver’s device using a regular remote notification. Be sure to set the apns-push-type header field to alert. We do exactly this, our server send on a notification to APNS with the apns-push-type header set to alert, destined for Bob. 3 - On the receiver’s device, the notification service extension processes the incoming notification and decrypts it. If it’s an incoming VoIP call, the extension calls reportNewIncomingVoIPPushPayload(_:completion:) to initiate the call. It then silences the push notification (see com.apple.developer.usernotifications.filtering). I try to do exactly this. The notification is received by the NSE on Bob's device, which decrypts it and then notices it is a VOIP call from Alice. It prepares a dictionaryPayload with the decrypted data and then calls reportNewIncomingVoIPPushPayload(_:) async throws. This throws an NSXPCConnectionInterrupted error, which when logged shows as below: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.callkit.notificationserviceextension.voip" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service named com.apple.callkit.notificationserviceextension.voip} The only difference I can see to the documentation is that I am working in an asynchronous context so am using the asynchronous version of the method, but I don't imagine this should cause an issue? I then supress the notification as documented and this works correctly. Does anyone have any ideas why I am getting this error when calling reportNewIncomingVoIPPushPayload(_:) async throws?

The APNs Feedback Service domain “feedback.push.apple.com” was deprecated on March 31, 2021, and became unavailable after August 2025 due to domain name resolution failures. Will this feedback service become available again in the future? Also, is it possible to use the APNs Feedback Service with a domain different from “feedback.push.apple.com”?

I am trying to retrieve delivered notifications using UNUserNotificationCenter.getDeliveredNotifications(completionHandler:), but I have encountered an issue: Notifications triggered by UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger or UNCalendarNotificationTrigger appear in the delivered list. However, notifications triggered by UNLocationNotificationTrigger do not appear in the list. Here is the code I use to fetch delivered notifications: UNUserNotificationCenter.current().getDeliveredNotifications { notifications in for notification in notifications { print("Received notification: \(notification.request.identifier)") } } The notification is scheduled as follows: let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() let content = UNMutableNotificationContent() content.title = "Test Notification" content.body = "This is a location-based notification." content.sound = .default let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194) // Example coordinates let region = CLCircularRegion(center: coordinate, radius: 100, identifier: "TestRegion") region.notifyOnEntry = true region.notifyOnExit = false let trigger = UNLocationNotificationTrigger(region: region, repeats: false) let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "LocationTest", content: content, trigger: trigger) center.add(request) { error in if let error = error { print("Error adding notification: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } Why does getDeliveredNotifications not return notifications that were triggered using UNLocationNotificationTrigger? How can I retrieve such notifications after they have been delivered?

Hello. I'm currently implementing Apple Notification v2 to prepare for refunds for in-app purchases, but I'm not receiving requests from Apple servers to my backend server. I've applied HTTPS (TLS 1.2) and correctly registered production/sandbox notification URLs on App Store Connect. After requesting a test notification, when I check the status of testNotificationToken, I receive an UNSUCCESSFUL_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE as follows: {"signedPayload":"......":[{"atteptDate":1752128001970,"sendAttemptResult":"UNSUCCESSFUL_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE"}]} The endpoint for receiving notifications is set to accept POST requests with application/json format, and it responds with 200 (OK) without any content. However, Apple notifications are not coming through. Could anyone help me with this issue?

Push-notification token is properly requested and displayed from the iOS simulator / xcode, but not from the release in the AppStore... Both popups for permission (push-notifications and critical alert) appear and can be confirmed, but no callback takes place...

Hi, We are building a system that integrates with APNs using the Token-Based Authentication method. While testing, we encountered the 429 TooManyProviderTokenUpdates error and would like clarification on the exact conditions that trigger this response. Our Testing Scenario: Private Key: We keep the same Private Key constant across requests. TEAM_ID and KEY_ID: For testing purposes, we change the TEAM_ID and KEY_ID for every JWT we generate. Requests: Each generated JWT is used to call the /3/device/{token} API endpoint. Observed Behavior: When we test with different TEAM_ID and KEY_ID combinations, we initially receive 403 InvalidProviderToken, which is expected because the TEAM_ID and KEY_ID combinations are invalid. However, if we change the TEAM_ID and KEY_ID and make multiple calls (e.g., more than two within 20 minutes), we start receiving 429 TooManyProviderTokenUpdates. If we switch to a different IP address (via VPN) after receiving the 429 error, we revert to receiving 403 InvalidProviderToken. Our Use Case: We are building a system where multiple server clusters handle multiple apps (some under the same Apple Developer account, others under different accounts). Each server generates JWTs for requests to the APNs /3/device/{token} API. Our Questions: What specific conditions cause the 429 TooManyProviderTokenUpdates error? Does APNs monitor token updates at the level of TEAM_ID and KEY_ID, or does it consider additional factors such as the originating IP address or shared infrastructure? How does APNs handle frequent changes in TEAM_ID and KEY_ID within a single server or cluster? Is there any documentation or guidance on managing JWTs effectively in a distributed system with multiple apps and servers? Does APNs limit JWT updates based on IP address or API endpoint usage across multiple apps sharing the same Apple Developer account? We would greatly appreciate any clarification on these points and guidance on best practices for managing JWTs in a multi-cluster environment. Thank you!

While click on notification tray I do not want to open my ticket.

Hi all, May I please ask for an official clarification or documentation reference from Apple regarding this scenario: Is it possible for an iOS app to automatically launch or open a specific screen when a push notification is received — while the app is in the background or terminated (killed) state? I understand that for most cases, user interaction (such as tapping the notification) is required before the app can show UI. However, I’d like to confirm whether this is also true for time-sensitive or critical alert notifications, including emergency use cases (e.g. public safety alerts). Specifically: Can a critical alert notification directly launch the app or present a view controller? Or is user interaction always required before the app can present any UI, even with the critical alert entitlement? I would appreciate if anyone — especially Apple staff or engineers — could share an official Apple document or statement that confirms this behavior. Thank you very much! (Use case context: I’m developing an emergency broadcast feature for a property management / tenant app.)

I'm strugling about the way how to code notifications for my weather aplication. I use data from my server that receives weather changing values from my own weather station and want to notify user of my app when eg strong wind will blow or temperature go under eg 3℃ etc. The weather station has 8 sensors so there is sometimes a lot of data changing in particular minute that i set to parse data from server and notify user about it. But the notifications only works only when app is on and couple minutes after locking display. So please what could i use strategy for the app to works even when the app sleeps ?

I have to device, one is iOS 17.0.3, the other is iOS 18.1.1. In iOS 17.0.3, everything just goes fine, but iOS 18.1.1 'didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken' and 'didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError' never called. I am sure I already called 'registerForRemoteNotifications' method in Appdelegate, Singning & Capabilities's Remote notification is also checked. I use Firebase, also add FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled = NO in my info.plist. Someone can tell me why? Think u for ur answer.

The operation couldn't be completed. (WorkflowKit.WFConditionalAction.ConditionalError error 0.)

If a server is sending a push to an app, then how can it know whether it should be sending the push using the Apple sandbox push server, or the production server? If the app is on the app store or testflight then it needs to be using the sandbox server, but if the app is being run via XCode interactively as devs are developing/testing then the push needs to be sent via the sandbox server. But the server itself has no idea if the app was installed via Testflight/app store/XCode/ or a development .ipa. So the server can't know how to send the push. The app has to send the push token to the server anyway, so the app could inform the server which environment it should be sent over. But then how can the app detect that itself? A naive answer is to use #ifdef DEBUG to detect this, but that is incorrect. Which environment a push should be sent over is not correlated with that. For example an app could be being run with a debug scheme or a release scheme, but in both cases if the app is installed/running via xcode then the push environment has to be the sandbox. So my question is, is there a way the app can detect which push environment a push should be sent over in order than it can instruct the server accordingly?

The Apple subscription production environment receives notifications, but the same notification address successfully receives them only for sandbox payments.

I've added a Notification Service Extension as a target to my React Native iOS app following Apple's official documentation. After completing all the setup steps as outlined in the documentation, the notification titles remain unchanged - notifications are arriving without any modifications, suggesting the extension isn't functioning properly.Testing Details: Sending notifications via Apple Push Notification Console Tested on iPhone 16 Pro Max (physical device) Tested on iPhone 15 Pro simulator Both show the same issue - no title modifications The extension appears to not be executing at all. Has anyone encountered similar issues with Notification Service Extensions in React Native projects, or can suggest troubleshooting steps to verify the extension is properly configured and running?
